ROLLING STONE INTERVIEW

In a recent interview, Linkin Park's Mike Shinoda admitted, "I know that for some of the guys in the band, getting on stage is more scary than other guys in the band. But I will say that for all of us, it's definitely the thing that we want to do. It feels like the right way to celebrate Chester."

Shinoda added that it was producer Rick Rubin who encouraged the group to perform live again. "[Rubin] said: 'I know you guys know this, and I know it's obvious because you're looking at social media, I think you guys need to get on stage. I think that's going to be the thing that'll feel good. It'll be super, super hard … The fans want to see you, but most importantly, not because they want to see a show, there's a cathartic experience that needs to happen,'" Shinoda said.
